In the present study, the mechanical and thermal properties of sisal fiber‐reinforced unsaturated polyester (UP)‐toughened epoxy composites were investigated. The sisal fibers were chemically treated with alkali (NaOH) and silane solutions in order to improve the interfacial interaction between fibers and matrix. The chemical composition of resins and fibers was identified by using Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy. The UP‐toughened epoxy blends were obtained by mixing UP (5, 10, and 15 wt%) into the epoxy resin. The fiber‐reinforced composites were prepared by incorporating sisal fibers (10, 20, and 30 wt%) within the optimized UP‐toughened epoxy blend. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the morphological changes of the fibers and the adhesion between the fibers and the UP‐toughened epoxy system. The results showed that the tensile and flexural strength of (alkali‐silane)‐treated fiber (30 wt%) ‐reinforced composites increased by 83% and 55%, respectively, as compared with that of UP‐toughened epoxy blend. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the (alkali‐silane)‐treated fiber and its composite exhibited higher thermal stability than the untreated and alkali‐treated fiber systems. An increase in storage modulus and glass transition temperature was observed for the UP‐toughened epoxy matrix on reinforcement with treated fibers. The water uptake behavior of both alkali and alkali‐silane‐treated fiber‐reinforced composites is found to be less as compared with the untreated fiber‐reinforced composite. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Natural rubber was reinforced with untreated sisal and oil palm fibers chopped to different fiber lengths. The influence of fiber length on the mechanical properties of the hybrid composites was determined. Increasing the fiber length resulted in a decrease in the properties. The effects of concentration on the rubber composites reinforced with sisal/oil palm hybrid fibers were studied. Increasing the concentration of fibers resulted in a reduction in the tensile strength properties and tear strength but an increase in the modulus of the composites. Fiber breakage analysis was evaluated. The vulcanization parameters, processability characteristics, and stress–strain properties of these composites were analyzed. The extent of fiber alignment and the strength of the fiber–rubber interface adhesion were analyzed from the anisotropic swelling measurements. Scanning electron microscopy studies were performed to analyze the fiber/matrix interactions. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 93: 2305–2312, 2004 相似文献

Fully bio‐based and biodegradable composites were compression molded from unidirectionally aligned sisal fiber bundles and a polylactide polymer matrix (PLLA). Caustic soda treatment was employed to modify the strength of sisal fibers and to improve fiber to matrix adhesion. Mechanical properties of PLLA/sisal fiber composites improved with caustic soda treatment: the mean flexural strength and modulus increased from 279 MPa and 19.4 GPa respectively to 286 MPa and 22 GPa at a fiber volume fraction of Vf = 0.6. The glass transition temperature decreased with increasing fiber content in composites reinforced with untreated sisal fibers due to interfacial friction. The damping at the caustic soda‐treated fibers‐PLLA interface was reduced due to the presence of transcrystalline morphology at the fiber to matrix interface. It was demonstrated that high strength, high modulus sisal‐PLLA composites can be produced with effective stress transfer at well‐bonded fiber to matrix interfaces. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

The aim of the present study is to investigate and compare the mechanical properties of raw jute and sisal fiber reinforced
epoxy composites with sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites. This is followed by comparisons
of the sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced composites. The jute and sisal fibers were treated with 20%
sodium hydroxide for 2 h and then incorporated into the epoxy matrix by a molding technique to form the composites. Similar
techniques have been adopted for the fabrication of raw jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites. The raw jute and
sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites and the sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites
were characterized by FTIR. The mechanical properties (tensile and flexural strength), water absorption and morphological
changes were investigated for the composite samples. It was found that the sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced
epoxy composites exhibited better mechanical properties than the raw jute and raw sisal fiber reinforced composites. When
comparing the sodium hydroxide treated jute and sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites, the sodium hydroxide treated jute
fiber reinforced composites exhibited better mechanical properties than the latter. 相似文献

This article concerns the effectiveness of various types and degrees of surface modification of sisal fibers involving dewaxing, alkali treatment, bleaching cyanoethylation and viny1 grafting in enhancing the mechanical properties, such as tensile, flexural and impact strength, of sisal‐polyester biocomposites. The mechanical properties are optimum at a fiber loading of 30 wt%. Among all modifications, cyanoethylation and alkali treatment result in improved properties of the biocomposites. Cyanoethylated sisal‐polyester composite exhibited maximum tensile strength (84.29 MPa). The alkali treated sisal‐polyester composite exhibited best flexural (153.94 MPa) and impac strength (197.88 J/m), which are, respectively, 21.8% and 20.9% higher than the corresponding mechanical properties of the untreated sisal‐polyester composites. In the case of vinyl grafting, acrylonitrile (AN)‐grafted sisal‐polyester composites show better mechanical properties than methyl‐methacrylate (MMA)‐grafted sisal composites. Scanning electron microscopic studies were carried out to analyze the fiber‐matrix interaction in various surface‐modified sisal‐polyester composites. 相似文献

The natural fiber reinforced biodegradable polymer composites were prepared with short jute fiber as reinforcement in PLA (Poly lactic acid) matrix. The short jute fiber is successively treated with NaOH at various concentrations (5%, 10%, and 15%) and H2O2. The composites were prepared with untreated and treated short jute fibers at different weight proportions (up to 25%) in PLA and investigated for mechanical properties. The results showed that the composite with successive alkali treated jute fiber at 10% NaOH and H2O2 with 20% fiber loading has shown 18% higher flexural strength than neat PLA and untreated jute/PLA composite. The flexural modulus of the composite at 25% fiber loading was 125% and 110% higher than that of composites with untreated fibers and neat PLA, respectively. The impact strength of composite with untreated fibers at higher fiber weight fraction was 23% high as compared to neat PLA and 26% high compared to composite with treated fibers. The water absorption was more for untreated jute/PLA composite at 25% fiber loading than all other composites. The composite with untreated fibers has high thermal degradation compared with treated fibers but lower than that of pure PLA matrix. The enzymatic environment has increased the rate of degradation of composites as compared to soil burial. Surface morphology of biodegraded surfaces of the composites were studied using SEM method.

The effect of interface modification on the mechanical (tensile, impact and flexural) properties of polystyrene–sisal fiber composites was investigated. The interface modification was performed by treatment of sisal fibers with benzoyl chloride, polystyrene maleic anhydride (PSMA), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), methyl triethoxy silane and triethoxy octyl silane. These interface modifications improve the compatibility of hydrophilic sisal fiber with a hydrophobic polystyrene matrix and change the tensile, impact and flexural properties of the composite, but to varying degrees depending on the fiber modification. The treated fibers were analyzed by spectroscopic techniques. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the fiber surface, fiber pullout, and fiber‐matrix interface. 相似文献

In this work a comparative study on the impact and tensile properties of polyester/sisal fiber reinforced composites was undertaken. The polyester matrix was used bare and modified with: (1) a silane coupling agent; (2) a flame retardant system; and (3) a blend of the silane agent and the flame retardant system. The experimental results show that the flame retardant acts as a particulate reinforcement to the polyester matrix and the silane coupling agent acts as a plasticizer. The simultaneous addition of these two compounds to the polyester resin tended to decrease the performance of the composites. The results obtained show that strength or toughness could be tailored, and although none of the composites manufactured with the modified polyester matrices showed a significant improvement on the fiber–matrix interface strength, a better compromise between impact and tensile properties was obtained with the silane modified matrix. The critical fiber volume fraction was also evaluated and shown to be less than 10% for the sisal–polyester composite investigated here. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanical property changes, thermal stability, and water absorption capacity of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/sisal fiber composites were assessed with respect to the effect of maleic anhydride chemical treatments of the sisal fiber, for five different sisal fiber contents, varying from 0 to 30% by weight in the composite. The composites prepared with the untreated sisal exhibited higher tensile modulus and hardness than the unloaded resin, while elongation and tensile strength were reduced. The deterioration in the mechanical properties of PVC blended with sisal fiber is attributed to the presence of moisture, interfacial defects at the fiber and polymer interface, and fiber dispersion in the PVC matrix. The amount of absorbed water is a function of the amount of fiber in the composite (F0 = 0 phr, F5 = 0.77 phr, and F20 = 4.83 phr). The comparison of the results of characterization of F5, F20, and F30 formulations prepared with the untreated fibers and the treated ones showed a reduction in absorbed water after the chemical treatment of fiber with maleic anhydride (F0 = 0 phr, F5 = 0.28 phr, and F20 = 2.99 phr), thus improving the mechanical properties of composites prepared with the treated sisal. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sisal fiber reinforced biocomposites are developed using both unmodified petrol based epoxy and bioresin modified epoxy as base matrix. Two bioresins, epoxidized soybean oil and epoxy methyl soyate (EMS) are used to modify the epoxy matrix for effective toughening and subsequently two layers of sisal fiber mat are incorporated to improve the mechanical and thermomechanical properties. Higher strength and modulus of the EMS modified epoxy composites reveals good interfacial bonding of matrix with the fibers. Fracture toughness parameters KIC and GIC are determined and found to be enhanced significantly. Notched impact strength is found to be higher for unmodified epoxy composite, whereas elongation at break is found to be much higher for modified epoxy blend. Dynamic mechanical analysis shows an improvement in the storage modulus for bioresin toughened composites on the account stiffness imparted by fibers. Loss modulus is found to be higher for EMS modified epoxy composite because of strong fiber–matrix interfacial bonding. Loss tangent curves show a strong influence of bioresin on damping behavior of epoxy composite. Strong fiber–matrix interface is found in modified epoxy composite by scanning electron microscopic analysis. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132, 42699. 相似文献

Composites based on phenolic matrices and both untreated and alkali and ionized air–treated jute fibers were prepared. Different fiber lengths and fiber content were used to reinforce the phenolic matrices. The jute fibers were characterized with respect to lignin, holocellulose, ash, and humidity contents and also to the crystallinity index. The mechanical properties of fibers were investigated by means of tensile analysis and the morphology by SEM. The untreated and treated jute fiber–reinforced composites were characterized as to water absorption. The mechanical property and morphological aspects of the composites were evaluated by impact strength and photomicrographs obtained from SEM. Among the jute fiber treatments considered in the present work, the treatment with a solution of 5% NaOH presented the best results because: (1) the fiber presented a higher tensile strength, and a larger percentage of elongation at break; (2) the composite reinforced with this fiber presented the highest impact strength results when this was the unique treatment (20% of fiber), as well as when it was combined with ionized air (30% of fiber); and (3) the composite that presented the lowest water uptake was that reinforced with this fiber. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this research, the mechanical, acoustical, thermal, morphological, and infrared spectral properties of untreated, heat and alkaline‐treated sisal fiber‐reinforced poly‐lactic‐acid bio‐composites were analyzed. The bio‐composite samples were fabricated using a hot press molding machine. The properties mentioned above were evaluated and compared with heat‐treated and alkaline‐treated sisal fibers. Composites with heat‐treated sisal fibers were found to exhibit the best mechanical properties. Thermo‐gravimetric analysis (TGA) was conducted to study the thermal degradation of the bio‐composite samples. It was discovered that the PLA‐sisal composites with optimal heat‐treated at 160°C and alkaline‐treated fibers possess good thermal stability as compared with untreated fiber. The results indicated that the composites prepared with 30wt % of sisal had the highest sound absorption as compared with other composites. Evidence of the successful reaction of sodium hydroxide and heat treatment of the sisal fibers was provided by the infrared spectrum and implied by decreased bands at certain wavenumbers. Observations based on scanning electron microscopy of the fracture surface of the composites showed the effect of alkaline and heat treatment on the fiber surface and improved fiber‐matrix adhesion. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The present article summarizes an experimental study on the mechanical and dynamic mechanical behavior of sisal fiber reinforced HDPE composites. Variations in mechanical strength, storage modulus (E′), loss modulus (E″), and damping parameter (tan δ) with the addition of fibers and coupling agents were investigated. It was observed that the tensile, flexural, and impact strengths increased with the increase in fiber loading up to 30%, above which there was a significant deterioration in the mechanical strength. Further, the composites treated with MAPE showed improved properties in comparison with the untreated composites. Dynamic mechanical analysis data also showed an increase in the storage modulus of the treated composites The tan δ spectra presented a strong influence of fiber content and coupling agent on the α and γ relaxation process of HDPE. The thermal behavior of the composites was evaluated from TGA/DTG thermograms. The fiber–matrix morphology in the treated composites was confirmed by SEM analysis of the tensile fractured specimens. FTIR spectra of the treated and untreated composites were also studied, to ascertain the existence of type of interfacial bonds. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this research, 9 series of ramie fibers were treated under low-temperature plasma with diverse output powers and treatment times. By analysis of the surface energy and adhesion power with epoxy resin, 3 groups as well as control group were chosen as reinforced fibers of composites. The influences of these parameters on the ramie fiber and its composites such as topography and mechanical properties were tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), tensile property and fragmentation test of single-fiber composites. Contact angle and surface free energy results indicated that with the increased treatment times and output powers, surface energy and adhesion work with epoxy resin improved. Compared with the untreated fibers, surface energy and adhesion work with epoxy resin grew 124.5 and 59.1% after 3 min-200 w treatment. SEM and AFM showed low temperature plasma treatment etched the surface of ramie fiber to enhance the coherence between fiber and resin, consequently fiber was not easy to pull-out. After 3 min-200 w treatment, tensile strength of ramie fiber was 253.8 MPa, it had about 30.5% more than that of untreated fiber reinforced composite. Interface shear stress was complicated which was affected by properties of fiber, resin and interface. Fragmentation test showed biggest interface shear stress achieved 17.2 MPa, which represented a 54.0% increase over untreated fiber reinforced composites. 相似文献

Silicone composites reinforced with short eucalyptus pulp fibers were obtained. The composites were prepared with untreated fibers and with fibers modified with a silane coupling agent, vinyltriethoxysilane, with tetrahydrofuran or ethanol as a solvent. The surface treatment improved the adhesion at the fiber–matrix interface, and vinyltriethoxysilane was suitable for forming a covalent and nonhydrolyzed interface in the composites. The thermal stability of the composites was lower than that of the silicone matrix, with a distinct mechanism of degradation, because of the presence of the cellulosic fibers in the composite. The tensile properties of the composites depended more on the fiber dispersion in the matrix than on the nature of the interface. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This study examined the dynamic mechanical properties of sisal fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester (UP) toughened epoxy nanocomposites. The chemical structures changes in Epoxy, UP and UP toughened epoxy (Epoxy/UP) systems were characterized by Proton Nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) spectroscopy. The morphological alterations of the nanocomposites were analyzed by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The untreated, chemically treated fibers, nanoclays, and the fiber reinforced Epoxy/UP nanocomposites were confirmed by FTIR spectrometer. The obtained mechanical results showed that alkali‐silane treated fibers improve the tensile strength (96%) and flexural strength (60%) of the Epoxy/UP nanocomposite than that of Epoxy/UP blend due to the strong interfacial bonding between the sisal fiber and matrix. The fracture toughness (KIC) and fracture energy (GIC) of treated sisal fiber reinforced DGEBA/UP/C30B nanocomposites found to be higher than that of untreated sisal fiber nanocomposites. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) reveals that the fiber reinforced Epoxy/UP nanocomposites contains 30 wt% treated fiber and 1 wt% nanoclays, exhibits the highest storage modulus and better glass transition temperature (Tg) among the other kind of systems. The surface morphology of the fibers, fractured surface of the resins and composites were confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). POLYM.

Biocomposites were produced using polycaprolactone and starch as matrix, and sisal fibers as reinforcement. The matrix is a biodegradable commercial product called MaterBi‐Z, which is based on a polycaprolactone and starch system. The relationship between processing conditions and properties is reported. An alkaline treatment was performed in order to improve the adhesion and the compatibility of the fiber with the matrix. The effect of the treatment on the tensile properties and morphology was determined. Fiber content enhances the tensile properties of the biodegradable composite. The experimentally observed tensile properties (modulus and tensile strength) of short sisal fiber reinforced MaterBi‐Z matrix composites with different fiber loading are compared with the existing theories of reinforcement. SEM photomicrographs of the fractured composite surfaces are also analyzed. 相似文献

This article concerns the effectiveness of MAPP as a coupling agent in sisal–polypropylene composites. The fiber loading, MAPP concentration, and fiber treatment time influenced the mechanical properties of the composites. It was observed that the composites prepared at 21 volume percent of fibers with 1% MAPP concentration exhibits optimum mechanical strength. SEM investigations confirmed that the increase in properties is caused by improved fiber‐matrix adhesion. The viscoelastic properties of the treated and untreated composites were also studied. From the storage modulus versus temperature plots, an increase in the magnitude of the peaks was observed with the addition of MAPP and fiber reinforcement, thus showing an improvement in stiffness of the treated composites. The damping properties of the composites, however, decreased with the addition of the fibers and MAPP. The thermal properties of the composites were analyzed through DSC and TGA measurements. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 94: 1336–1345, 2004 相似文献

In this article, truly degradable composites were prepared using sweet sorghum fibers which are residue of ethanol fermentation industry as reinforcement and renewable resource‐based biodegradable polyester, poly(L ‐lactide) (PLLA) as matrix, they were fabricated by melt‐blending. The effect of different kinds of pretreatments (dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment, mild alkaline/oxidative pretreatment, steam explosion pretreatment) on mechanical properties of composites were investigated. Besides the composition of untreated and treated fibers as determined by Van soest method, Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) were also used to study the change of sweet sorghum fibers before and after pretreatments. Mechanical properties testing indicated that tensile strength and impact strength of PLLA/treated fibers were improved except the dilute sulfuric acid pretreated fibers reinforced PLA composite. The mild alkaline/oxidative pretreated fiber reinforced PLA composite showed highest tensile strength of 46.12 MPa and impact strength of 8.02 kJ/m2 which was 15.5 and 33% higher than that of the control. The SEM of impact fracture surface and DMTA test were carried out to investigate the interfacial morphology and interfacial adhesion between the fiber and matrix. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

One important application of polymeric composites reinforced with natural fibers is in the area of naval engineering design. The objective of this work was to study the influence of saline degradation on the mechanical properties of vinyl ester matrix composites reinforced with glass, sisal, and coconut fibers and natural fibers modified with bitumen. All samples presented mass loss after exposure in a salt spray chamber. All materials, except the composite reinforced with coconut–bitumen, showed a decrease in toughness after a salt spray test. The fracture of the vinyl ester resin with sisal and sisal–bitumen fibers showed a fiber bridging mechanism. These materials showed the highest value of toughness among the materials studied. The presence of fiber pullout was observed in the samples of vinyl ester resin reinforced with glass, coconut, and coconut fibers covered with bitumen. In these samples, poor adhesion between the fiber and matrix was observed. The treatment of fibers with bitumen increased the mass loss and decreased the stability of samples in a saline atmosphere. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2008 相似文献
